- Today we do the AFK Challenge, So we pretend to be AFK while we sneakily expand somewhere else. I stole this from a PiG video which I watched so please dont get angry mr Pig. It just looked cool.
Alright boys I hope you all enjoy this beautiful new Beating Grandmasters with stupid stuff and I hope to see you all tomorrow for a new Alphastar video. - Ігри
I enjoyed the video until you cheated and used the energy from the main base nexus. Still liked because of the wink.
I see you won the bet vs Rifkin. I hope my 3 days of creating 834 accounts to sub to you helped a little! :)
It wasnt cheating because he had been scouted elsewhere by then. That was the deal. Pretend afk until discovered.
3:54 Your attempt to disgiuse the fart by coughing was unsuccessful.
Hahahahahaha I didn't notice the first time.
This is for real the funniest thing
He immediately said "I need a little more gas for that"
absolute amazing
This comment breaks the internet
I’m fkn dead hahahahaha
it's genuinely hilarious to see how much fun you're having with these challenges. Especially with this one your laughter was contagious for me, Great content!
@Mac picking up girls in the harstem comment section, real alpha shit
@Mac lmfao you're pathetic
lmao from "xd" into no gg :DD
He cant atack me before I have a colossus out
*marine walks into view*
Seriously the comwdic timing is just flawless, this has to be scripted
Also, next IODIS: I killed 12 workers before 5 minutes but protoss still wins
Protoss imba
Protoss imba
Protoss imba
And the main base
Imagine... pretending to be afk vs pretending to be afk
This was a lot of fun. I would have liked to see your 3rd base be a "hidden base" at your original spawn.

4:10 listening to Harstem cheeky laugh is the best thing that happened to me this year.
8:02 “the only thing he isn’t allowed to do is scout around” *gets scouted by probe
Challenge idea 1: "No one left behind". Conserve units as much as possible, no intentional sacrifices or dice rolls (as in, "let's send two adepts there, maybe they'll live, maybe not, but they're going to get their money's worth"), and if it turns out you produced more than 400 supply worth of units, lose the next match. Using that approach, achieve 1.5:1 win/loss ratio over more than 10 matches, or get a smurf account to GM only using this tactic.
Challenge idea 2: no scouting. Observers are only allowed to watch over units and own bases with approaches directly next to them. No sending units just to see what your opponent is doing.
Challenge idea 3: "The Mass Switcheroo". The general rule: choose any combat unit and try to win using any number of them, but only them. You are allowed to make up to 5 gateway units above the rule (but that's just 5 across the entire match, so no remaking), and you can have up to 5 observers at any time (meaning, those can be remade). Every match, choose a different unit. You are not allowed to mass the same unit again until you run out of units. Using that approach, smurf to GM.
Happy New Year Harstem and thanks for this gift! Karaks is low gm from Russia so he is quite suitable for this challenge
I loooove how you're geniunly excited and having mad fun doing this it makes it so much funnier !
Using the nexus's chronoboosts is fine but i'm also pretty sure that if you had 13 probes he wouldn't notice you could be cheeky harExtreme
Also I had never seen a 3racks I do not understand the purpose of this build beside evolving into bio multi drops maybe ? But what's the point compared to your usual reaper expand ?
That play at 21:48... it was like you tempted the terrans with a "misplay" and slipped in a juke unnoticed haha.
This was amazing. Thank you so much you made my Day! That was awesome!
I tried this and lost a few games but ended up winning vs a protoss. Was glorious. He cannon rushed me but made like 6/7 cannons leaving him too far behind, in the meantime I had 2 bases up and got DT's out. HAHA.
For he's a jolly good Terran, that nobody can supply
Opponent: *pulls all probes*
Him: “so you have chosen death”
"For a few to be immortal, many must die."
Marine Marauder Marauder walk into Harstem's base...
Harstem: "...After I scouted Marine Marauder Marauder"
XD
awesome video ^^ thank you for your incredibles videos ^^
This is such a fun strategy, I love it!
Oh, and you should switch out the cigarettes for some snus.
"I need a little more gas for that" ;)
Now do that in an offline tournament!
I would love to see two people face each other of acting they are afk xD
so how about dem replays? :P that last game was beautiful, the terran should definitely submit it to IODIS
22:18 When you actually managed to do it
try the "has left the game" meme with terran
this is my fav BGMWSS by far
Bless you! It's definitely soup season ❤️
I love how dedicated you are to such a terrible strategy and don't even care if you win, as long as you trick him lol :D
Idea: something like 2 gate charge
You are only allowed to build other units than zealots/ different tech once charge is researched
I seriously hope the next IODIS episode is "Protoss pretend AFK is way too strong. Collossus is OP! REEE"
Love that you did an ICYFAR challenge
One of your best videos yet!
That last game was epic! lol
Not sure why your 2nd proxy nex is so close to his 3rd. Why does Harstem like to expand towards the enemy too? Maybe it’s in case enemy scouting but not sure
great content, my only feedback is that it would have been potentially funny to see through the opponents cam to see if they stopped doing or started anything after discovering the afk base.
I think the problem is that this was a popular trick about 8 years ago. We are all trained to check around before writing it down as afk.
A tip maybe to take different expands, the corners are too obvious.
But i don't think that could work, if you're going to scout anyway (and towards the corners, which you say are too obvious), then any other expand would be scouted even sooner, wouldn't it?
@@irrelevant_noob not really. Depending on the map, the opps 4th is a great spot.
All im saying is that when you see an afk base, the corners are the first place to check. So probably best to check the pathing from t he main tot he corners and take the base least likely to be scouted.
Thanks for the wink
I like your vids, subscribed
Hi Harstem, did you ever deal with wrist or arm pain from playing Starcraft so much? If yes, how did you combat it? I really want to improve but it's hard because my hands start hurting after 2 hours of playing.
There are certain stretches that I do occasionally, i think there is a guy called the gaming doctor with some stretches on UA-cam somewhere
@@Harstem Thanks!
The 2.0 version is here if you haven't seen it yet!
ua-cam.com/video/FLKc5wwo7a0/v-deo.html
I would do a double afk and pop a base in both corners just for maximum troll factor
16:33 the commentary and reaction was just pure gold LMAO
this is amazing
why don't you start your gasses earlier? you don't lose mining time since you're toss, and it doesn't delay your production that requires only minerals (i.e. core, pylons, probes) since it's only 75 minerals. Had you had gasses earlier, you would have had stalkers earlier too.
This was so much fun 😂
I enjoy the video, if i may hv a suggestion. 5 minutes into the game if you still hvnt been scouted, i suggest u bring over all your probes and leave the starting probes back.
He can always recall them
Great one as usual xD
next gsl strat confirmed
Here's a tweak. Just move to the Lower Left corner instead. Only left handed people search it! :D
I am thinking a see "the joker" while watching this....
Here's one. A viewer said "Kevin never stop building probes and bases either he's winning or losing" on your twitch stream. I wonder if you can win if you actually don't stop building probes for the whole game (for all of your nexus)! It may sound easy but I think it is really difficult.
that was cheeky
You should gl:hf the second he kills your nexus.
Why are you saturating your main with your expo nexus? The distance traveled, would be better if they went straight to their expo minerals.
So fun
Lol i used this strat today (MMR around 2500), and fooled 3 out of 5 opponents.
That was insane
Meesterlijk gast
You remind me so much of Joltz
3:13 Horse Tim activated
I cant even win qualification to get into the ranking plays and I played this game since Brood War... No matter what I do I just get destroyed on first attack or when they are poking me all the time i cant do shit and just leave :S
This is cool! Why so much clicking though? You are not even doing anything lmao
that reaction 16:37 hahaah lol
that facepalm sound tho xD
@@BillyViBritannia that's what I mean! Fcking Love it!
think dark shrine in the pvp even with one nexus will be also good
People only click on your vids to see you wink
I really like harstem, he is so sarcastic and funny. But i hate when he does the cough-thing. It sounds really disgusting ^^
Damn I wish you would have gl hf him right after he killed ur main
is it a 2 player map¿
Do this in a tournament LUL
probe rush next please
4:51 watching this now after seeing the confidence trip he was agan on in his second video he tried and failed at this ...
spoiler: he never learned. There is no advantage in losing your base for a 1s emotional damage ...
You should be a real magician and type AFK then just attack.... hahahahaa
Here's one. You are not allowed to build a single structures in your main base. Not a even a pilon. This seems to be really stupid.
We actually did it
What is wrong with that T? all he need is to mass tanks
lmao I would probs uninstall after losing to this bs
When wings of liberty came out many years ago, Terrans had this cheese strat that involved killing all your scvs and loading the rest into the command center, then floating it away into the corner of the map, while copy pasting a fake error message at the start of the map. The game was new so people didn't really understand how everything worked so when they went to the enemy base and saw it empty, and couldn't find a base anywhere on the map, they'd just leave, giving you the win.
should gl hf after the nexus kill
High apm but 80 percent of it is just doing nothing
睡梦罗汉拳
lmao
ahahaha
dude i fucking love you
16:36 the realist face palm ever recorded.
*realest. :-B
at the start of the game pause the game and say afk and let it count down tilli t ends
3:45, game start!
You should type something like "ah lol" "nr10? =)" awhile after he scouts you, it will sell the afk and lower his guard also it allows you to micro the probes
What’s your advantage by making him think you’re afk? I don’t see any, you only handicap yourself
You got the point dude
"Beating grandmasters with stupid stuff," not "beating grandmasters with mind games that put me ahead"
If you played like this, I'm pretty sure I could beat you, and I'm nowhere near GM lol.
the second guy was cheating, there is no way u send a probe this way in this situation and exactly at this place. Isimba.misery.ok
Doesn't seem suspicious to me, I'd shift click workers to all bases immediately in this situation.
what an horrible button mashing yuck
